Raw shea butter, 100% pure and natural
Shea Butter (INCI: Butyrospermum Parkii Butter) is extracted and pressed from shea kernels (Vitellaria paradoxa), a tree from West Africa. Lotus Lab offers it in professional bulk, without harsh chemical refining, for cosmetics manufacturers, soap makers, and laboratories.
A butter rich in fatty acids and unsaponifiables
Shea butter stands out for its balance of oleic acid (40–60%) and stearic acid (20–50%), which gives it a firm texture that melts on contact with the skin. Its melting point (30–40°C) makes it a solid fat at room temperature, ideal as a balm base or whipped body butter.
Cosmetic formulation applications
Used pure or as a formulation base, it is found in moisturizers, repairing balms, hair care, and artisanal soap making. Its richness in fatty acids and unsaponifiables makes it a go-to ingredient for nourishing and protective care.
Bulk and private label sales
Shea Butter is sold in professional bulk with a deliberately low minimum order quantity, to remain accessible to developing brands and laboratories. Lotus Lab also offers a private label / white label service: manufacturing and packaging under your own brand.
